Southern Leyte State University Recognizes Achievement in Research on Blended Learning During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Conforming to the 4th Sustainable Development Goal—Quality Education—Southern Leyte State University (SLSU) proudly acknowledges the exceptional contributions of its faculty members from its satellite campus in Tomas Oppus: Ms. Erlinda Dacara Tibus, Ms. Jahara Dagangan Napalla, and Ms. Sybill Krizzia Gabronino Ledesma. Their collaborative study, entitled "Risk Factors of Student Failure in Blended Learning Instruction During the COVID-19 Pandemic," provides critical insights into the challenges faced by students during the sudden shift to blended learning entailed by the pandemic.
This study sheds light on the significant risks to student success arising from the abrupt transition to blended learning, which, while essential for continuing education amid restrictions, has posed various challenges. Utilizing exploratory factor analysis, the researchers identified four critical factors contributing to students' risk of failure: the virtual environment, degree of intrinsic motivation, virtual classroom conduct, and perceived inability. These findings underscore the urgent need for modified teaching strategies tailored to the demands of blended learning.
Furthermore, the research conforms with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education), emphasizing the necessity of addressing the needs of students struggling in blended learning environments to enhance educational outcomes.
SLSU remains dedicated to fostering a culture of research and innovation. The university commends Dr. Tibus, Ms. Napalla, and Ms. Ledesma for their invaluable contributions to education during these unprecedented times. With eager anticipation, SLSU looks forward to more groundbreaking research endeavors that will shape the future of education and inspire scholars to push the boundaries of knowledge.
